The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses

Chapter 1254: I Want to Make You Stay (132)

Just as things were getting hot and steamy, Xiao Yue scurried toward the nanny van in a bid to open the door. Upon realizing that the doors were locked, she knocked on the window and said, “Sis, hurry, it’s time for you to be on set.”

“Okay... got it... I’ll be on my way.”

“Hurry up, they’re all waiting for you,” said Xiao Yue, who was waiting outside the nanny van.

“Alright...” Fang Erlan answered softly. She then whispered to Xiao Chenyang, who was mounting her, “Hurry up, quick.”

While the two of them were deeply enthralled by each other, Xiao Yue was getting impatient outside the van. Seemingly having guessed what was going on inside the car, she had no choice but to wait.

Fang Erlan finally alighted from the van twenty minutes later. Noticing how flushed and radiant she was, Xiao Yue said, “Sis, hurry up, the director is probably losing her patience.”

“Yes, let’s go.”

Xiao Chenyang leaned back against the seat, basking in his post-coital pleasure. He watched them leave and let out a sigh of satisfaction.

When Fang Erlan and Xiao Yue arrived, the disgruntled Yu Caiwei said to Director Gao, “She’s late for almost an hour. Does she think she’s some big shot? Can we even still continue filming?”

“Not so loud. Mind you, she’s injured.”

Fang Erlan stepped forward and apologized, “I’m sorry to have made you guys wait for me, Sister Gao.”

“It’s alright. Can we begin now?”

“Yes, yes,” Fang Erlan answered with a smile, beaming with joy. It just so happened that she had to film a romantic scene with Yan Ge today that was preceded by a scene where she argued with Yu Caiwei.

Filming proceeded smoothly, and there were no bad takes at all.

Although Yan Ge could notice the bliss and joy in her eyes when filming the scene with her, he knew that she must have been thinking about someone else while staring at him.

It made him terribly upset.

Whenever he broke up with his ex-girlfriends in the past, he would only feel sad at the beginning, and his misery would gradually fade into nothing. In some cases, he would also feel nothing, for he had already lost feelings for them before the breakup. Yet, for the first time, he felt overwhelmed with agony that had not faded a single bit ever since Fang Erlan broke up with him. Instead, it worsened with time and he missed her badly. All he could think about was her.

In fact, he was detesting himself for feeling that way, because he knew clearly that he and Fang Erlan had already begun drifting further and further apart from the moment he found out about her relationship with Xiao Chenyang.

Yan Ge had always been arrogant and held his pride high. He would never allow himself to act rashly or commit any childish acts. Needless to say, she would definitely have already gotten intimate with Xiao Chenyang. Given how much a woman’s chastity mattered to him, how could he possibly get back together with her?

However, his heart often got the better of his rationality.

His rationality told her that he can’t get back together with her, but his heart constantly told him that he could just lower his pride for the sake of being with the person he loved.

Hence, he resented himself for being irrational.

“Will you be free later?” Yan Ge asked.

Fang Erlan rejected him immediately, “I’m going for lunch now, so no, I won’t be free.”

She then left right away, not giving him the chance to answer her at all.

Before Zong Jingyi left, he asked Mrs. Mu, “Didn’t your daughter relay my words to you?”

“Wansheng? I didn’t see her.”

“You didn’t? You mean, you haven’t met her ever since you beat her up?” he asked.

“Yeah, how did you know...”

“I was the one who had abducted her and dumped her on a hill. Did she die there?”

A sullen expression formed on Mrs. Mu’s face immediately, and she asked frantically, “You... you dumped her on a hill? Which hill? Which hill was it!?!”

Zong Jingyi sneered, “Are you worried sick? You can drop the pretense and save the hypocrisy. You beat the living daylights out of your daughter and probably broke her legs. You were so cruel with her. Wouldn’t you be happier if she was dead?”

“I’m asking you, where did you dump her?”

Zong Jingyi guffawed at the sight of tears welling up in her eyes. He remarked sarcastically, “You’ve got such great acting chops. It’s a shame you didn’t join the showbiz industry. I dumped her...”

He proceeded to tell her the exact address.

Mrs. Mu grabbed her purse and bolted out of the door. She then zoomed inside her car and frantically rushed to the destination.

She constantly prayed in her heart, Please don’t let me see her corpse. Please don’t let her be dead, please don’t!

Just like she had prayed for, she did not find Mu Wansheng at the site.

Mrs. Mu felt as if a boulder had been lifted off her chest.

Does this mean that she had been rescued?

But who would pass by such a remote place?

Surely she can’t have been devoured by wild dogs or something?

I doubt it. If that was the case, there would definitely be traces.

She repeatedly tried to comfort and reassure herself that everything was fine. As soon as she returned home, she hurriedly told Old Mr. Mu about the situation.

“Regardless of whether she had been rescued or gone into hiding, I won’t send anyone to look for her.”

Dumbfounded, Mrs. Mu said bluntly, “But she’s your daughter too, are you really going to give up on her?” She was not afraid to say it out openly because there was no one else in the room.

Glowering at her, Old Mr. Mu snapped, “Shut up! What nonsense are you spouting!?! She’s your daughter and my granddaughter. Don’t get that mixed up! I don’t want to hear such things from you again. I’m not giving her up, she’s just too willful and insensible. She was the one who gave up on the Mu family. She’s not fit to be a member of the Mu family. I no longer have a granddaughter like her. She has nothing to do with us from now on!”

Mrs. Mu took a deep breath and said, “I’m upset at her for being so disobedient too. However, she’s still my daughter at the end of the day. Father, just send some people to look for her in all the hospitals. She’s injured and penniless. I don’t know where she had gone to either. She’s my only daughter, you can’t leave her in the lurch.”

“I told you, I’m not going to look for her. Are you deaf?”

Mrs. Mu clenched her fist and said, “I’ll go look for her on my own, then.”

“Suit yourself. You gave birth to such a useless thing. She’s nowhere comparable to Pingyang! I wonder who she takes after. What a dimwit!”

Mrs. Mu stormed off angrily upon hearing his words. She returned to her bedroom and fumbled around for her bank card, which she then placed inside her bag. She put on a pair of flats and left the Mu family home.

She headed to a few hospitals nearby before going to the First People’s Hospital.

She asked the front desk if there was a patient named Mu Wansheng. However, she was told that Mu Wansheng had not been admitted to this hospital.

Fan Shixin instructed the hospital staff to keep it a secret, so as to protect Mu Wansheng and himself from Zong Jingyi.

Hence, Mrs. Mu could not find her at all.

Pangs of panic engulfed her.

Upon hearing that Mrs. Mu had visited the hospital, Fan Shixin informed Mu Wansheng about it when he arrived in the evening.

“She... came to look for me? Is she here to see whether or not I’m dead yet?” Mu Wansheng quipped with a lopsided smile.

“She couldn’t find you. There’s something I must tell you. I hope you’ll adhere to my instructions,” Fan Shixin said while staring at her earnestly.

“What is it?”

“No matter who you see in the future, don’t tell them that I was the one who had saved you.”

Extremely puzzled, she gave his words some thought and asked, “Are you worried that Pingyang would get upset?”
